Biére de Garde (beer for keeping) is a traditional malt oriented farmhouse ale from Northern France that was typically brewed in early winter then cellared (lagered) until spring and summer when it was then consumed.
The ATF D’or Biére de Garde is a golden coloured beer with a malty sweet aroma and a creamy honey like mouthfeel. A complex beer that is spicy, fruity, and peppery, with a dry finish and slight acidity making it very drinkable. The beer will benefit from a period of lagering.
Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Mangrove Jack's French Saison yeast, or you could also try Lallemand Belle Saison.
